Stock Raising I'm Alaska.

The raising of live stock In Alaska
is not likely TO become q leading in
dustry Of that country. Nor will 10
probably ever be noted for the produc-
ton Of the agricultural plants for
which market now exists.
II we are TO form our conclusions as
10 the value Of Alaska for agricultural
purposes from what Mr.. Bancroft, the
Pacific coast historian, says on the
subject, the United States government
certainly made q very poor bargain in
buying 1t II reckoned Of much agricul-
tural consequence; but the author
clearly proves that for Its timoer, fish
and mineral resources II is well worth
thrice Its cost.
On the subject Of live stock Mr..
Bancroft says that variety Of stock
was supplied the Aleutians free Of
charge early during the Russian occu-
pancy of the country. but most Of
them perished for want Of care. The
Aleuts being accustomed to . diet of
fish, did not relish milk or flesh and
regarded animals as q nuisance. The
cows were kept In corners used for
storing salmon and knocked down
with their horns the poles on which
the fish were suspended and trampled
them underfoot; while pigs under
mined the natives huts by scratching
out the earth in search Of refuse, while
goats climbed on the roofs and tore
away the thatch.
The cattle sent 10 Alaska during the
Russian occupancy were Of the hard.
lest Siberian stock, but even In 1888
the herds seldom mustered more than
twenty head; though beef cattle are
often sent from San Francisco 10 fat
ten on the Aleutian islands and are
slaughtered In October. HorSes and
mules are of course little valued In q
country where there are few roads.
and where, as in Venice, travel IL al.
most entirely by water. Sheep thrive
well during the short, hot summer, es.
pecially on KadiAk island, where
there is an abundance of nutritious
grasses, and ut this season their NUT.
ton Is Of choice quality; but In winter
they are crowded together In dark
sheltered corners, whence they crawl
out in early spring weak and ema-
ciated.

1SS: becore essentially Free Trade
doctrine Wien endorsed by a Democratic
President in 1857. The truth OF the
matter is that the President. in his dis
cGssion Of this paramount question. has
struck a popular chord whose vibrations
will end an Apprvcistive response in the
hearts of the Americsn people, and as a
natural and inevitable sequence IN.

stricken With sudden fear and tremb-
Ling At the probable result. In com.

Convention which nominated Mr..
Blaine in 1884, adopted a platform with

That ID precisely what President
Cleveland proposes.

THE INSANITY PLEA.

murderer is a madman. The impulse
